The meeting over Clinton's use of a private email server during
her time as secretary of state comes more than a year after
Clinton first admitted that she conducted official government
business via a personal email address, rather than using one
issued by the government.

Federal authorities began their investigation in August.

The FBI has been looking into whether classified material was
mishandled during Clinton's tenure at the State Department from
2009 to 2013.

Clinton, who is weeks away from officially accepting the
Democratic Party's nomination for president at the party's July
convention, has maintained that using the private email server
was not illegal.

An inspector general's report
released in May appeared to back up Clinton's claim but said
she "did not comply" with State Department policies requiring her
to surrender "all emails dealing with department business before
leaving government service."

Clinton has turned over tens of thousands of her work-related
emails over the course of the investigation. About 30,000 more
emails that were deemed "personal" were deleted.

The report of the meeting comes amid renewed furor over the
federal government's handling of the investigation. Attorney
General Loretta Lynch has been roundly criticized for a meeting
earlier this week with former President Bill Clinton aboard an
airplane parked on an Arizona tarmac.
